The context in the darcs send patch does not reveal too much, for my  
purposes.  You're right, it does not contain the contents of prior  
patches.

The darcs patches do reveal former contents of lines that were  
deleted by the patch (as do patch files created with "diff"), but  
that does not bother me.
